Hi there

A lot of discussion about the demons and auras..

So as a fire warlock, I'm going for Hephasto with Conviction and Cursed?

What does cursed do? It amplifies the dmg that the demon does?

thanks for help,
cheers

Since you are fire the cursed will basically just help amplify the damage of your demon and merc, breaking any physical immunitie.

While I think less important still useful, conviction aura should be your main concern while farming a new Hephasto.

Great, thanks! that's what I was thinking as well. So cursed would be an upgrade so that the kill speed of my merc /demon increases, which is especially helpful for immunes.

I have also thought about maxing blood oath to have 43% of dmg taken going to my demon (who tanked every attack of dclone). Any experience with blood oath?

Are you able to provide any links to information about the damage reduction being different from what the skill card shows

Cursed is irrelevant. Just need conviction

Why is it irrelevant in your opinion? Doesnt it increase the dmg of my demon?

If you’re a fire build your build should be dealing with immunes effortlessly, if you’re not there yet use echoing strike. Relying on your merc to kill every immune is not an efficient strategy
